Change of show rules, E.3.2 -Division of a WCF ring- from 01.11.2024
E.3.2– Division of Rings based on the number of participants
There are two options for dividing the rings:
E.3.2.1
If the number of participants is less than 39 (inclusive), the Ring may not be split.
If the number of participants is more than 39, the Ring may be split into two part-rings,
but not less than 4 participants must be present in the second part-ring.
In case of a split the best cats are ranked according to article E.3.1.
Winners are only the first-placed cats from each partial ring.
The division of a ring is optional and at the discretion of the organizer.
or:
E.3.2.2
For WCF Rings with 100 or more cats, the Ring may be divided into multiple categories,
each with at least 50 cats, judged by separate judges (the maximum number of cats per judge is defined by D.2.5)
Each judge selects 5 to 10 cats from their categories, as directed by the show organizer, to ensure
the final number of cats is manageable.
All participating judges then rank the best 10 cats from the pool of selected cats in cooperation (see E.8).
This division is also optional and at the discretion of the organizing club.

Pedigree Program
The WCF acquired the pedigree program that Mr. Phucharoenyos developed a few years ago for the WCF Best Cat site and
it will be accessible again in a timely manner.
You will find this function in your club profile on the WCF Best Cat site in the usual place.
Each club has the opportunity to create its own pedigree.
Trainee clubs are excluded from this, as the pedigrees are created by the mentor.
The pedigrees will all look the same. Each pedigree receives its own QR code, and has the same function as the hologram sticker,
which you can order from the WCF.
As club, you are free to decide whether to continue using the sticker or opt for the electronic QR code.
Since the shipping of the hologram stickers on postal route often takes a long time, especially to Asia and Russia,
we see a good and fast alternative here.
Each pedigree including QR code will cost 3 euros, as well as the sticker will cost 3 euros.
An appropriate electronic payment system will be set up for payment.
For further questions and questions about processing, please feel free to contact the WCF office.

Restrictions for Russia

World shows can be reserved again for the coming years.
These will only be officially authorized once the war and the associated restrictions have been lifted.

Best in Shows and WCF Fun Shows
With the number of special shows listed in the licences, we have noticed that the volume has now increased so much
(sometimes up to 15 fun shows with double judgement with only three judges !), that there is hardly any time left for judging.
In order to guarantee the time frame of the show duration (end of the show should be at 8 pm at the latest), the following criteria
must be observed from 01.02.2024 for online license applications:
-
on show days with double judging and/or WCF special rings (Jubilee, Master) there is only one Fun Show per judge
-
two fun shows per judge on show days without double judgement and special rings.
The same applies to the additional BIS for special breeds, please do not exceed a total of six BIS per day,
especially here the additional time required is always somewhat higher.

Increased points WCF Best Cat
In 2024, the WCC Congress will once again be organized by the WCF.
This event is something very special. We want to express that.
For this reason, we approved triple points for the WCF Best Cat at the associated World Exhibition in Thailand.
For this year’s Cat Olimpia, the highest competition of the WCF, the number of points has been adjusted (only for the year 2024).
All exhibitors who participate with their cats in this competition will receive quadruple points.
This is an exception to emphasise that the WCF competition is and remains something quite outstanding
